Scenic viewpoint, Coastal observation point in Auderville, France
The viewpoint extends over granite cliffs at the northern tip of the Cotentin Peninsula, providing clear views across the English Channel toward Alderney.
The strategic position of this observation point proved essential during World War II when RAF pilots identified German radar installations in February 1941.
The location represents the maritime traditions of Normandy, where generations of locals monitored shipping movements and weather patterns for fishing activities.
Visitors can access the viewpoint through marked paths from the Goury port area, with parking facilities available within 200 meters of the site.
The site experiences some of the strongest tidal currents in Europe, known as Raz Blanchard, which create visible water patterns observable from the viewpoint.
